[When the video feed starts, it's too dark to make out much of anything. It's hard to tell where the feed is even coming from, and the only sign that there is anyone around is the sound of rustling in the background...like wings flapping as something (or a lot of somethings) flies around in close quarters.

Then, several pairs of eyes start to glow purple in the gloom as a Galvantula comes into focus, her furry body jumping with bits of static that brighten the darkness just enough so whoever is actually making this video can be seen. Just before his face comes into view he starts to laugh, cackling until the feed finally reveals one Jimmy Two-Shoes seated on the floor of a balcony with his long legs threaded through the rungs of the side of the staircase. Everything looks very old, broken down, and quite honestly spooky in here, which is exactly what he wants.]

Gooood morning Johto! I hope you guys know what day it is, because things are about to get real SPOOKY around here!

[Jimmy laughs again as the Galvantula steps just a bit closer to provide more light. It's clearer now that Jimmy's in an old house of some sort with creaky floorboards, drafty windows, and cobwebs covering everything in sight. There are also a lot of Pokemon hovering in the background too- Noibat, Phantump, Zubat, and the like. Perched on his shoulder is a very grumpy looking Murkrow with a scratch on her beak who turns her head to pull at the unruly feathers along her wings now and then as Jimmy talks.]

It's the first day of October, which means we've only got 30 days until Halloween! Us guys from the Eve's Garden Circus have got lots of spooky, scary tricks and treats planned for you guys! It's been a lot of work getting everything put together, but I think you'll find it all to be terribly terrifying!~

[WELL if anyone's been wondering where Jimmy's been hiding all September, now you know. Haunted Houses don't scarify themselves, you know.]

But we're still not done yet! We're gonna need a lotta elbow grease to get things as spooky as they can be for Halloween! If anybody wants to come help out, we'd love to have some extra hands over here! The Haunted House is in the same place it was last year, the spooky mansion on the hill in Goldenrod!

Let's make this Halloween even spookier than it was last year!

[As an official Pumpkin Knight to the Pumpkin King, Jimmy's bound and determined to make this Halloween the best one Johto has ever seen in his honor.

With that, he ends the feed.]

...no offence Jimmy, but you're not very scary.

I'm on a trip to Blackthorne right now, but some time this month I can come by and help out.

_{[Halloween Halloween Halloween yeah Molly's definitely feeling the spooky spirit. A little too much maybe, as she was admittedly made nervous by the Galvantula eyes, but there's no sign of that when she does connect to the feed.]}

You can't just say it's got to be spookier without saying how spooky it was! I wasn't here last Halloween.

_{[She's obviously teasing, the usual smile in place.]}

[Well, this is an impressive display and Rossiu thinks he has some idea of what's going on here but--]

What's Halloween?

[...well.]

Is it some sort of festival that involves scaring people? There isn't anything like this back home.

[Judging from the background of the video, Rossiu's in a cave, so he's been missing out on the start of Halloween season. No one has explained this to him. Sorry, Jimmy.]

[This is one excited idol!]

I can help! I'm totally down with trying to scare as many people as I can~

[Nothing is spookier than Teddie on the 'gear. Especially when he appears to be...shaking it for no reason whatsoever.]

JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY!

[rocketralph]

Y'know, I've never actually been inside that place. What's it like?

[VIDEO]

[invigorating]

Oh my gosh, that's so awesome!

[Nowi's got her face practically pressed up against the 'Gear, which... is pretty normal for her, actually. She steps back after a moment, though she's practically bouncing in place.]

I wish I could come visit, it'd probably be super, super neat! Buuuuuut I'm really far away and I don't really want to travel all the way to Goldenrod...

[She deflates a little for a moment before the excitement returns in full force and she's bouncing again.]

But! I hope you guys have a ton of fun with it! Halloween's not something that we do back home, but oh man does it look awesome! I'm gonna get so much candy and it'll be great, so can you tell me how things go there? I really want to hear all about it!

My! It's that time of the year again already, is it! Goodness, I remember having a lovely time at the circus last year. Though I can't imagine how you've made the haunted house even scarier; it was already quite the fright last year!

[Video]

[dressofheaven]

Well, I would never leave a fellow circus member high and dry, but I have to admit you've taken me a bit by surprise. I don't think anyone let me know of this undertaking.

[And I hope you like another Gavantula on the screen, Jimmy. He looks really excited about something and calls for someone offscreeen. A few seconds later, Perry appears, patting the Gavantula on the head before switching the Pokegear to Text.]

Sorry about that, Phineas gets excited easily.

But I think he might be interested in helping out the Haunted House.

[Greed sure looks excited.]

With any luck, maybe this Halloween won't be too disastrous-- we gotta have some fun this month.

[nvcr]

I, uh.

What did you guys do last year?

video; hello this is the fun police I hear that there has been fun planned

[usedlightscreen]

[North didn't notice the broadcast on the network but while his travel companions have been excited about buying tickets he's been doing research and has some concerns and questions.]

Sounds like you're old hat at this.
